Breakfast Nook: 7 Inspirations for 2022 1

Breakfast nooks were popular in the 1920s as houses became smaller and bungalows were common. They made for a great spot for the morning meal with their built-in seating and table.

They’re perfect for light meals, homework spots for kids, or a cozy spot for reading. We rounded up our favorite inspirations for 2022 and are sharing them with you!

This was a breakfast nook added to one of our kitchen refreshes and we love the combination of the antique ottoman with the light and bright seating. A chandelier adds a rustic element to the space. Lighting helps define the area and makes it its own space.
